PTFE (Polytetrefluoroethylene) Virgin Plastic Sheet Info
Polytetrefluoroethylene (PTFE) - This soft formable fluoropolymer is often used in high temperature environments due to its stability at temperatures up to 500 degrees F. It has excellent electrical insulating properties and is both weather and chemical resistant. Note: The sheets may be warped / wavy, because this is a soft formable plastic. Thinner sheets are skived.
Advantages
- Weather resistant
